If the value of something is determined by what someone is willing to pay for it, who is left in Sydney that can afford to spend $1.2 million on a house?

Certainly not the average Australian. Considering the median total income in New South Wales is $55,000, after accounting for tax and cost of living, it would take close to 20 years to save for a down payment.

This disparity extends beyond Sydney. With the median house price in Australia’s capital cities at $937,592, excluding Perth, the average person would need about 10 years to afford a down payment, let alone owning it outright. To no one’s surprise, this trend remains the same in Canada, New Zealand, and the UK. These are all countries that claim to be ‘free and fair’ democracies.

Now, let’s juxtapose housing prices with politician salaries in these Western democracies. The base salary for an Australian MP is $217,060, in Canada, $194,000, in New Zealand, $170,000, and in the UK, £90,000 ($170,000). What a coincidence that those elected to represent the people are the only ones who can afford houses in the places they represent.

Isn’t it funny how the political class, seemingly unaffected by the cost-of-living crisis, are also the ones responsible for governing in a way that perpetuates this divide… Logic dictates that if citizens can’t afford homes, some of these buyers must originate outside the country. Foreign nationals snaffling up prime real estate may not concern politicians, but the working class are being robbed of their chance to own a home.

It is no surprise that the issue extends well beyond the housing crisis. The political class are predominantly chosen from within tight ranks, thus ensuring the wealth stays in the family, so to speak. Their policies disproportionately impact the working class and apparently, based on voting patterns, most seem to think this is considered good governing.

From divisive referendums to economic downturns and climate policies that burden everyday Australians, it doesn’t take a genius to realise that the wealthiest of the wealthy are the sole architects of policies detrimental to the majority.

If citizens have no land, they have nothing to fight for…

I ask you this – what are we fighting to defend? Our way of life? Our freedoms? We aren’t even allowed to celebrate Australia Day anymore…

Let me remind you that when wars break out, it’s your sons and daughters who will bleed on foreign soil, sacrificing generations for a way of life citizens can no longer afford in times of peace.

We live in a reality where our rights and freedoms can be stripped away in an instant because a non-elected, non-Australian organisation or bureaucracy says it’s necessary.

This behaviour is coming from the same privileged class that drives citizens apart, imposes unjust restrictions on society, and makes decisions that favour their interests over the well-being of the majority. Despite all this, people come with the same old ‘she’ll be right’ mentality.

She won’t be right… Not this time.

If you want to stay poor, live under constant surveillance in restricted cities, submit to being governed by social credit scores and Digital ID’s, by all means keep voting for the same toxic political class that have ruined every ‘free’ society’ in the Western World.

But do not complain when you get exactly what you voted for…
